A man who stole $10B, @SBF_FTX just got interviewed, portrayed almost as a victim and got an applause at the end

Still free and fine.

Aaron Swartz, who downloaded academic journals to share with the world got $1m in fines and 35 yrs in prison. This lead him to take his own life @SBF_FTX This is the justice system of the modern western world, ladies and gentlemen.

Burn it all to the ground.

In 2019, @FTX_Official had no bank accounts, so people were wiring money to @AlamedaResearch to get USD credited in FTX.

Lol?

Watch a compulsively lying criminal trying to explain himself: @SBF_FTX : The time I knew there was a problem was Nov. 6th.

That's when he bothered to actually look at the dashboards of their financials.

Wtf?

@rotkiapp's funds are a spec of sand compared to their AUM but I compulsively check everything on a daily basis dog-fooding rotki.

I've only used mastodon for a week. My account just got suspended for:

"Being a capitalist"

I am not sure what that means. But I guess I can fix it by sending some moneros to the server owner?

The Fediverse is not very welcoming. Oh this is getting better. I can't even move my account to another server.

By suspending the account on the server the option to move it does not appear. I am stuck.

1/X: In this thread I will post my votes for Season 16 @gitcoin budget.

Starting with the GPC budget proposal for which I am voting YES. Feedback is to try and cut expenses more

Proposal: gov.gitcoin.co/t/s16-proposal…
Vote: snapshot.org/#/gitcoindao.e…
My comment: gov.gitcoin.co/t/s16-proposal… 2/X: For the PGF workstream I am torn. I recognize its importance for Gitcoin as a project. They bring in all the sponsors and funding

But the budget for this quarter is too much

Why do "top tier" publishers like @Forbes not only publish this, but also pin the tweet?

At least they realized the first summary was too much so they deleted ... but reposted with a different one and pinned again.

DONT GLORIFY CRIMINALS. THEY ARE NOT MISUNDERSTOOD GENIUSES. There is no "Crypto hierarcy" to climb. What she did was not crypto. She just went into a very non-crypto firm that has non-transparent and as it turns out fraudulent books, doing white collar crime.

That's not crypto. That's wall street 101.

1/X: I have a slow Sunday. So inspired by the heated discourse under this thread I will read carefully (as opposed to skimming) the paper that introduced the SBT term and tweet remarks, questions into a thread as I go.

The paper can be found here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

https://twitter.com/LefterisJP/status/1530845615030251520

2/X: Naturally for every paper you need to read the abstract which ideally will give you an idea what the paper is about.

So from that I get that the authors envision non-transferrable ("Soulbound") tokens will form the basis of what they call DeSoc, the Decentralized Society.

1/X: We released @rotkiapp v1.24

Some highlights:

🐙 Support @krakenfx staking
🦄 @Uniswap price oracle
🏗️ Human readable #ethereum transactions
🗃️ Support @binance CSV
♾️ @ensdomains reverse resolution
🔎 Global search-box

Get: github.com/rotki/rotki/re…

Details below 👇 2/X:

🤯This by far of our biggest release containing lots of new features, improvements and bug fixes we made in the past 5 months! It contains a whooping 639 commits by 13 different contributors!

🐛That's why it comes with a warning that there is probably gonna be bugs!!

So @feeswtf done their airdrop and it went exactly as expected.

It's a poorly executed ponzi to take your precious ETH away from you.

Let's have a closer look 👇 @feeswtf They went and put a nice UI over an iterator of the user's ethereum transaction, summing up gas used.

THATS IT. THATS THE "PRODUCT".

They got more than 150 ETH in donations for this😂😂

But that was not enough ... so they made a ponzi token on top.

1/X:

🐦I talk a lot about what @rotkiapp is right now but not so much about what the vision for rotki is in the long term.

Time to give a sneak peek and explain where we are going.

Thread 👇 2/X:

Rotki today is an #opensource, local-first application that puts a big focus on user data ownership and privacy on the virtue of being a local app.

But that's not all that rotki aspires to be.👇

1/X: Proud to say our team released @rotkiapp v1.9.0, our biggest release yet

Highlights are:
- 📈Net-worth graph in the dashboard
- 🚨Including liabilities
- 🦄Support for @UniswapProtocol
- 🥩Support for #ethereum Eth2 staking

Download: github.com/rotki/rotki/re…

More details👇 2/X:

📈Users will now be able to see a graph of their total net worth over time in the dashboard. Free users get a limited time range (up to 2 weeks) but premium users can see the entire range.

👇1/X: A thread on why #opensource financial tools consisting of local apps that protect your #privacy are a necessity in today's world of constant hacks and data leaks.

🧑‍💻🌈🏦

In a world dominated by closed source SaaS someone has to freaking say it!👹
👇 2/X: What does #opensource mean? Why should the user care?

Opensource means that the tool is #transparent and #auditable about what it does. The code is open for all to see and judge.

The user can then verify (probably through other experts) that all claims of the tool are true
